YELLOW CAKE - YOLKS ONLY

Here we are again... I am getting use to it... It's quite fun... Especially that yesterday I had the first comment posted in my bloc. It was from mango cupcake original recipe owner and I am please that she enjoyed seen her recipe being duplicated.

Today I thought that was a good idea to give you all a recipe I have been making for quite some time now... Once I was in that "high protein/low carb diet" and eating loads of egg white and as a result I was throwing heaps of yolks away... I didn't like the idea so I had to find a recipe that use only egg yolk... and I didn't want to do mayonnaise (boring) even dough I LOVE MAYONNAISE! Anyway... I found a YELLOW CAKE RECIPE in the net and have been doing since. It tasted yummy and the family likes it very much. The recipe go:



6 large egg yolks
1 cup milk
3 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups sifted cake flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tbs + 1 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
170 grams unsalted butter, room temperature

Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Spray two 20cm cake tin with oil spray. Line bottom with glad bake paper. In a bowl lightly combine the yolks,1/4 cup milk and vanilla.
In a large bowl combine dry ingredients and mix on low speed for 30 seconds to blend. Add butter and remaining 3/4 cup milk. Mix on low speed until ingredients are moistened. Increase speed and beat for 2 minutes. Gradually add the egg mixture in 3 batches, beaten 20 seconds after each addition to incorporate the egg. Divide batter into prepared cake tins and smooth surface. Bake 25/30 minutes or until skewer comes out clean. Cake shrink a bit after take from oven. To finalize, I them sandwich them with a custard cream and top with whipped cream and fruit.
